    YouTube is Cloaking, So why can’t I?

    Friday, May 16th, 2008

    Ok. So this is an entry I had to do some real due diligence for to make sure my ducks are in a row. But I’m pretty sure I have this solid. YouTube is cloaking.
    What is YouTube Cloaking?
    Youtube cloaks any video that gets flagged as having inappropriate content. And this is a LOT of youtube. […]

    Search Analysis: Converting the Longtail into Sales

    Monday, March 17th, 2008

    Ok. So longtail traffic is something frequently undervalued. And not without reason. Take a look at any adwords tutorial you’d like; they all mention the fact that you should avoid “broad” match as much as you possibly can. This is because longtail searches are much much harder to convert into sales(for random longtails/blackhat longtails). Making […]

    New ShadyGenV2.0b (Site Generator) Almost Completed

    Monday, December 10th, 2007

    Ok, so what with exams and all, I haven’t had a lot of time to work lately, which is a shame. Those of you who know me, know I stripped apart my software awhile back, and am in the process of re-writing it. Good for tech, BAD for profits. So I got out of exams […]

    Why MSN Referrer Spam Will Never Work, and How to Defeat It

    Thursday, December 6th, 2007

    Previous to this whole referer spam issue, I had little but respect for MSN/Live search. Search engine spam was much harder to rank with in their search algorithm. The largest weakness of it was that it fails to quickly list legitimate sites, and takes a long time to rank. And that’s acceptable. It is honestly […]

    Learning From My Blog’s Pharmacy Link Spam(Part 1)

    Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

    Alrighty. So I get a low amount of spam in on this blog, but every so often, I get a particularily juicy piece of link spam, and I can learn from it.
    And when I say every so often, I mean just once. Because it’s the same fuckin guy who spams this blog all the time.

    Common Misconceptions about Cloaking: A Whitehat’s Guide

    Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

    Lately, I’ve been reading up on cloaking, hoping to learn something new. I was disappointed. What I did find, is a lot of mis-information, and uninformed people talking about that which they had obviously never done, or used logic, and not real-world people and information, to gain information about.
    For those of you unfamiliar with the phrase […]

    Finding Google’s Stealth IPs (Part 2)

    Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

    Ok, so I finally got off my butt and finished part 2 of how to nail down Google’s stealth IPs. Keep in mind, they employ people all over the world to manually check things, but this is a good way to at least make it complicated for them.

    Microsoft Referrer Spam Reveals how MSN Categorizes You

    Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

    I personally have noticed a few msn searches coming in for keywords I did not rank for. Whatsoever. Thanks to the folks at SEORoundTable, this mystery has been put to rest. It’s apparently an official Microsoft test. What for do you ask? Cloaking! More about that later though.

    Microsoft has been running about the […]

    Finding Google’s Stealth IPs (Part 1)

    Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

    Anyone that runs a cloaker site has thought, at least once “Why doesn’t Google just use IPs that don’t announce themselves?”
    Well, they do. It’s my personal belief that they’re the IPs used to review spam complaints, as I’ve yet to block ALL of them, and my cloaker sites do fine. However, if given the chance […]
